Hello Stumped, welcome to AccyWeb. I think people just move around a lot more these days than they used to so a lot of people leave and a lot of people arrive, hence no-one knows you or your granddad or great uncle Henry like they used to. The employment situation is probably down to the mills closing and Bulloughs gone. There's plenty of room for improvement and I still live in hope that some of the regeneration ideas will be taken on board.
